Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Fortuna on one side, and an inscription in Greek on the other side, which translates to "Good Luck to the People of Adraa". This suggests that the coin was intended to bring good fortune to the people who used it, and that the Roman Empire had a strong influence on the culture and currency of Adraa (Arabia) during that time period.
